    Here's mine. I never get bored posting it! I still need to get a slip for the bottom so it poofs out more but you get the idea! Have you tried any mermaid/trumpet gowns on?

    I haven't tried on, going next week. Yours is gorgeous and it fits you so well! This dress really shows the best of you! I really think I am going to like this style on me too! Which one is yours? (only if you don't mind sharing)

    Thanks!

    I didn't end up going with that style. But I tried on a few:

    @BruinBee: I think it is Private Label? This is what it looked like before alterations though (Zipper only in the back and it had a gold sash connected):

    Here you go! Not the best pic I have, but I now see that this one gives a back view as well so its more all purpose :)

    I love this silhouette and hope you find the inspiration you are looking for in this thread. The silhouette is the ONE thing about my dress I've always been 100% on.

    Good luck!

    Here is my dress, Mikaella 1406. I didn't realize until after I bought my dress how popular it is though! Still love it :) I'll be getting it in end of February so real photos to follow.

    I LOVE this dress a whole lot, but it really didn't fit my traditional ideal dress.  If I had a renewal ceremony, then this will be the dress!

    I had a love/hate relationship with my trumpet dress and changed into a different dress for the reception. It was a gorgeous dress, but I don't think it was meant to be MY dress. I felt much better in my a-line at the reception.

    @bunnylovesbear: In fact our dresses are kinda similar now that I think about it. Mine just has a "fussier" bottom, and a bow.... but I am soooooooo LUSTING after your buttons down the back!! Mine stop right by my bootie. I have to agree with Ms. J26.... you should have NO doubts. Its a knockout!

    edited to add: I see you are in England... so it's probably a Benjamin something right? I only know this because a friend of my british brother in law wore the same dress at her wedding a little while back, only it was a brand with Benjamin in the name. It's beautiful! :-)

    @topaz925:  Thank you so much!  Honestly, the buttons were a HUGE deciding factor for me.  I love how the follow all the way down the train of my dress.  I'm having my seamstress personalize the top three buttons with K <3 M.  I got the idea from this pic:

    I can't wait to see how it comes out.  My final fitting is on Jan 12th.  Eee!!  :)
